Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's time for Swamp Watch. Swamp is horrible. The government
man make this like a reality TV show. Was a
bad bos always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington,
d C. Hey Joe, a town.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
All too clearly built on a swamp and in so
many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
A watch of Malwaukee, he said, drain the swamp. I said, Oh,
that's so he'll keep you.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Know the thing. I was reading an article today, the
five Warning signs for Harris following the DNC acknowledging the
momentum that's been building just over two months until election day.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
They say that the victory.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Far from certain, that they're selling her condensed run as
an underdog candidacy. You saw all those speakers emphasize it
will continue to be an uphill battle. Dwan see Wright
as a Democratic strategist out of South Carolina, and he says,
the energy is good, but the energy has to be
(01:07):
harnessed for good because it doesn't always turn out to
be good energy in politics. That they're going to have
to acknowledge some things. As the race officially kicks off
tight polling and battleground states, she still hasn't sat for
an interview, something that we have belabored.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You know, It's funny.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I was just watching CNN had a guy has a
guy on there right now who is I guess a
former communications director for the vice president, who is basically
making the argument, well, it's really tough to schedule.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's tough to schedule an interview. No, it is not.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You are the vice president of the United States and
the candidate for president, even if you're on a rigorous
campaign trail, which you're not right now, you're doing debate prep.
You have the ability to reach out to whichever agency,
whichever network, whatever channel you want to do, and tell
(02:04):
them meet me in Detroit at a place of my
choosing at two pm on Thursday, and I'll give you
forty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
We have a sitting president and a sitting vice president
that are nowhere to be found in terms of accountability.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Is that is that weird? That's weird. It is very weird.
It is very weird.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'd like whoever's running the country to sit down for
an interview. If I could because who's that person? Who
are those people? It would be nice to meet them.
It would be wonderful that she's got to figure out
her policy. Right, we don't really know what her policy is.
She's just saying whatever, whichever the wind, the way the
wind blows. She was saying something recently about how under
her our military would be the strongest it's ever been
(02:47):
that the world has ever seen. Oh, she's obviously just
trying to hohore out to independent voters with that kind
of policy because people lost their minds on social media
about it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That screwed the defense. Put my kid in college, right.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And then also this article brought up something interesting that
she needs to not offend white men, that the support
is not there. She's been able to pick up young voters,
women voters, black voters, kind of clawback some of that
Latino voting block that Biden was shaky with, but Trump
(03:20):
still pulls more strongly among men and white voters nationally
and in the battleground states. So it's one of those
things where you don't want to turn off white men
by saying you're all white men and you don't know
and I'm tired of like having to you know, bat
down to you for my whole life, because it's always
been white men in politics.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Drop the privilege word in there too.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, you just got to be careful about that, because
there's nothing white men hate more than being told that
they have privilege for being white men.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, especially if.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're a white man who has repeatedly voted Democratic, you
came from a lower socioch, socioeconomic.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Strata, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Eminem, fine, eminem, that's fine. He did not have privilege. No,
and there are plenty of guys who were able to
work their way out of their poor conditions for whatever reason.
That had nothing to do with that they were white dudes.
It's that they were hardworking people. A DC story that
(04:21):
has to do with swamp Watch, and that is that
Meta platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg says now in a letter
to the House Judiciary Committee it was improper for the
Biden administration to have pressured Facebook to censor content related
to COVID, saying they would reject any future effort to
(04:42):
do such things. He said he believed the pressure was wrong,
and he says I regret that we were not more
outspoken about it, and he said the company made some
choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and some new information,
we would not make that same choice today. He also
said that the FBI came to him and suggested that
the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. Now, again,
(05:06):
this was not the Biden administration because it wasn't empower yet,
but it was the FBI who came forward and said that.
And what Mark Zuckerberg said was they deplatformed or whatever
term you want to use. They down platformed this so
it wasn't as easily shared. And we know places like
Twitter completely ignored and did not allow you to share
(05:29):
the New York Post version of the Hunter Biden laptop
story when it first came out because they said it
was Russian disinformation. So he at least has come forward
and said he's not going to do that. One of
the things he did a few years ago also was
he was donating money to state level election efforts like
get out the vote, make sure it's secure, that sort
(05:50):
of thing. Republicans accused him of being too liberal with
his money, or I should say, giving it to liberal causes,
so he said, fine, nobody gets any money.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Jack Smith is also back in court.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Jack Smith the Special Council has said that he wants
the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to revive the classified
documents case out of Florida. If you remember, Judge Aleen
Cannon last month granted the request to dismiss the indictment
on the grounds that Smith's appointment violated the Appointments and
Appropriations clauses of the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Not anything to.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Do with whether or not Trump had actually broken the
law by taking classified documents. This was a technicality that
she dismissed it on. Jack Smith is trying to get
that thing reinstated.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Okay, So rf Kennedy Junior back in the headlines. Not
for suspending his campaign joining Trump's transition team. No, not
for the dead bear cub he left in Central Park
as a joke a decade ago. A twenty twelve interview
has resurfaced, however, in which his daughter Kick shared he
(07:03):
had once used a chainsaw to cut off a whale's
head to bring it home.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Part of me doesn't believe the story because she's now
dating Ben Affleck.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I know that's not the reason not to believe it.
Oh really, yes, how do you know this? Well? What
do you mean? How do I know? This do you
not read? Yeah? How could you? How could you not know?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I haven't clicked on a Ben Affleck headline in twenty years.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Well, I get it mainlined directly into my head. I
know the matrix. You get the Google alerts for Ben Affleck.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Kick Kennedy thirty six. Now I think is dating fifty
two year old Ben Affleck. Cour they I should say
they've been seen together.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
They've had they're having sex. That's what I'm here. I
don't know if they've been seen having sex.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But Town and Country magazine is where you could find
this interview and Kick Kennedy says that Kennedy her dad
once heard that a dead whale had washed up on
squaw Islan in Hyenna's port, and that he ran down
to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Whale's head and don't run with a chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And then bungee corded it to the roof of the
family minivan for the five hour haul back to New York.
She says, every time we accelerated on the highway best
part here, whale juice would pour into the windows of
the car. We all had plastic bags over our heads
with mouth holes cut out.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
People on the highway were.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Giving us the finger, but that was just normal day
to day stuff for us.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Day to day.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I sign me up, sign me up for the crazy
ass Kennedy Clan.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I mean, set aside all.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The womanizing and the sexual assaults and the passing around
of Marilyn Monroe and dead bodies and we'd dead bodies
and dead girls in lakes. But aside from that, sign
me up for the drunken dinner party where it ends
with a bear in Central Parks, head on top of
the car, on top of the car, with the blood
gushing in. I'm ready for this kind of adventure.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Somebody actually looked into whether or not this violate whether
it violated law.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
If indeed he did do this, it sure sounds like it.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
In a letter yesterday to government officials, the Center for
Biological Diversity Action Fund requested that NOAA opened an investigation
into whether or not RFK Junior violated the Marine Mammal
Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. The story there
was another story that was the reason I saw this
(09:39):
in the first place. There was some whether it's People magazine.
Somebody was looking into the relationship, the budding relationship between
Affleck and Kick Kennedy, and they brought up this story.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
They said.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
One of the other quotes from Kick Kennedy was we
had all kinds of dead end like he was known
for picking up road kill. That's the reason he got
the bear in the first place, is that he was
interested in it.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I mean he was that.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Are you gonna call him a sportsman? No, I'm not
going to call him a serial killer. Not a serial killer.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I had an anthropology professor in college who did this
exact same thing. He would drive around and if it
was a well preserved, relatively fresh piece of roadkill, he'd
pick it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Up and put it in the trunk. And what would
he do with it?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Dissected or boiled the meats off and reassemble the skeleton.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Really, yeah, that's not serial killer. No, super normal, super normal.
I do think they search of that name. Where do
you think they get skeletons from?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So an update, Jurors have reached a verdict. It will
be read shortly In the federal trial of Tom Girardi
in downtown LA again. He is accused of running a
ten year Ponzi scheme, stealing fifteen million in settlement funds
from four of his clients.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Hey, Richie, what up?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Why you are a delight? Why did the fishermen put
peanut butter into the sea?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No idea? Why to go with the jellyfish? Oh my god?
Why did you sell like Dora the Explorer at the
end there? To go with the jellyfish?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
See?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Come on, no Clara case.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Neil Savatri is the host of The Fork Report. He
joins us Tuesdays. We talk about food on the Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I just remembered I saw on one of those morning
shows about those those chicken coconut ginger meatballs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I meant to look up that recipe I was talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I apologize that was a thought that should have stayed inside.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Because you know, you've never mentioned coconut ginger chicken meatballs before.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
But I'm listening. Yeah idea, Yeah, doesn't that sound great?
Ears wide open, nice summer.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, I'll find the recipe. The one, the one in
particular they had on that morning show looked really good.
I mean, I know it's not hard to make chicken coconut, right, No.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But to keep it moist? Sorry, keep it you know.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So, I've got a trick when it comes to chicken
or turkey meatballs and keeping them moist. I'm listening a
little bit of Greek yogurt. I was gonna say, yogurtface. Yeah,
keep some Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Sometimes it can get.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Too dry and dense with turkey or chicken because you
don't have the added fat that you have with meat,
real meat, men's meat.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And there it is. Well, it was good hanging out
with you guys. Thanks for coming. Go out on a high.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Now appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
We don't even have to judge you because you judge yourself.
And then it's sad.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Uh. Stop stop, let's talk about pink slime. Pink slime,
shall we was rumored to have been the main ingredient
in chicken McNuggets for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Which and I remember the images of it.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
When that story started floating around, I thought it was
something like twenty twenty or Nightline or something like one
of them.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Did a series on it.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But it has not. That's beef. There is such thing
as be as what is referred to as pink slime.
There's two major types of fabrication in manufacturing with meat
that is referred to as pink slime. And I won't
get into details for a couple of reasons. One, it's
not that important too. I don't know exactly everything part
(13:37):
about it, but basically what it is, it's them pulling
off It's actually a good thing in some ways because
you're using the entirety of the animal and in doing that,
you're pulling meat, but not chicken. It's not poultry. It's beef.
And they would use it as a filler because it
would have fat in it, and then it would have
some of the actual flesh in it and they'd use
(13:58):
that to fill or ground beef to add fat to it.
It's not pretty to look at, but either as blooney
or hot dogs in it's and I can't remember what
the name of it when it's in that form, but
when it's in that form, it's not real pleasant to
look at. But it would never go into a chicken nugget. Now,
(14:22):
back in I think in twenty eleven you had McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
They had it in their burgers. They don't need moore.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
They took it out in twenty eleven that but it
doesn't end up in a chicken McNugget. However, they are
pressed because you can tell there's like four or five
shapes and they repeat themselves so you're looking. If you're looking,
it's like, hey, I have two State of Florida's. Then
that's because they're they're actually about five shapes that they
(14:54):
press them into.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But it's not lips and butts and beaks.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
No, it's what no, no, no, no no, And it's
not eyeballs and all the things that that is. That
reminds me of you know old wives tales where it's
like somebody passing on to someone else and it's like, yeah,
they have this in it.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No they don't. Uh. It is primarily white meat.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
And the only other thing that is found in a
chicken McNugget that's processed would be some of the skin.
But that actually adds flavor. That's part of the flavor
of a piece of chicken because you can notice.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And I think the thing about specifically overprocessed nuggets like
that is the tech when you bite into it, the
texture there's there's there's bubbles in it and things like that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I mean, let's look cut in your face. It should
not have air caverns. But the difference between that and
you know, uh, fibrous of the muscle. Yeah, So if
you go to.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
If you go down the street here and you go
to Chick fil A, or you know, even better, you
go cross the street and you go to uh To
Raising Canes, You're going to see fiber in both of
their nuggets or fingers. You're going to see the fiber
the direction of the muscle. That is going to be
(16:09):
a whole product. As a matter of fact, at they're
at Chick fil A, you can get grilled nuggets that
don't have any breading on them and you can see
that it's.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Just a cut piece of chicken.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Yeah, So the difference is in nugget form. Any place,
if they're going to be a nugget form form must
most of the time they're going to be processed in
some way pressed. If they're tenders, that is actually a
cut of meat. So a breast has two parts. It
has the main breast and then just underneath it as tender,
(16:44):
which is a better cut of the meat. And that
is the kind of long cut and those are better,
Those are better for kebabs, those are better for the
chicken tenders in the like, And that's an actual cut
of meat.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Well, you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Loney being an unappealing at least.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I love baloney. Who does it? It's like a big
hot dog that you cut thin.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yes, So I go back and forth with that because
like I guess it's nostalgia why I like the thick
oscar Meyer baloney. But like if I'm gonna if I
was at the deli slicing blooney, I do it extra thin.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I've never had like I've had thin versus thick. I know,
get but not paper.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Like it's just snackable if you're just not for a sandwich,
because I don't know how much it will hold up,
especially if you're gonna travel with it. But if you're
just using the meats a snacking meats.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You're traveling meat. You're walking meat, like walking bacon, not
snacking me.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
You know, walking bacon's a thing. But you know what,
you know what some people are doing for the hot.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Dogs, and Spain is amazing with wing walking bacon.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, so people are taking hot dogs and putting them
on a mandolin, a cutting mandolin, and cutting them length wise,
very thin, and then crisping them up.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Interesting. Yeah, and it's like it sounds kind of delicious, right, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Almost spam like well, yeah, but he's that spam actually
is quite tasty.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Although I don't want to know anything about it. I
just let it putting it in a cube can.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
As far as I know, somebody is at a spam
farm or orchard picking it off a tree.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Breaking news from downtown. Tom Girardi guilty, what Yeah, guilty?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Guilty.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Convicted today of running ten year ponzi scheme. Prosecutors say
he's siphoned at least fifteen million in funds from four
of his clients. They convicted him of four counts of
wire fraud for stealing from these injured clients and spending
money on private jets, golf club membership's jewelry, and the
career of his now estranged wife, Erica Jane, the real
(18:54):
housewife of Beverly Hills. They just began deliberating yesterday afternoon,
right after closing arguments to bird for about two deliberated
for about two hours this morning before announcing a verdict.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
So justice has been served.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Neil Savatris joined us. He's the host of the Fork Reports.
Did you ever find that that recipe?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
By the way, Oh I did, I emailed it?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Okay, good, I'm looking at my emails and the subject
line was balls.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, well it's for meat balls. It was shorthand you
don't want to type the whole thing, Todd. No, isn't
that part of the harassment thing that we just went through. Yeah,
I'm violating all of that. They shouldn't have given me
the idea to violate.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
He learned out of Break all the Bools.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
We were talking about boloney, and there's somebody who came
up with a simple case. We're adding cream cheese to
a baloney sandwich.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You did that case? This is you know, it's it's
gonna take a minute.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, this was an interesting story that came out of
mash dot com. And it's not a horrible idea because
bloni and cheese go together, and believe it or not,
cream cheese is a cheese like the name. Yeah, but
I mean a lot of people, well American cheeses.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That's a good point.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, heat that up long enough and it becomes solid.
It's just there's different things cheese foods, but a lot
of people don't understand that. It is the separing of
the cur separating of the curds and whey and taking
the curds and compressing them and adding adding fat.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's about the fat content. Now I want fried cheese curds.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Oh, fried cheese curds are great, you know, but cheese
curds are the base of any good mild cheese, and
cream cheese is mild. So your mozzarella things like that
are just you start with the curds. In the case
of mozzarella, you'd add warm salty water and you'd start
to stretch them and that.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
So in a cream cheese, it's about the fat.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I think it's like thirty three percent fat or something
that you add and then you start to process that.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
So in itself it doesn't sound bad to me. The
texture is going to be weird.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You don't have enough crunch in the bread if it's
white bread, right, So you'd either have to change the
bread to me and get a crunchier bread, or you'd
have to add something. In this article they talk about
adding chips, but we normally go towards the things because
it is like a hot dog. You'd think about the
things that you would put on a hot dog, right,
(21:16):
which is mustard or mayo or even ketch up whatever
it might. Sorry, Chicago, you should catch up on a
hot dog after you're eight years old.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Oscar got asked to leave Wrigley Field up on.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
People went nuts with relax.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's acid.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
It's actually a very complex sauce that gets a bad wrap.
I was trying to say the same thing and they
didn't care. So just man, I gotta go give him
a hug. So this, in particular hat is a fried
boloney sandwich, which I love and I love as a kid.
The Oscar Meyer Shan and I were talking about and
(21:55):
it like turns into a hat, you know, because it
bubbles up in the center and you have to like
cut it or something so that it lays down flat.
That to me, I think would go with this very well.
But I'd be inclined to toast it, toast the bread
or something to give an extra crunch up against it.
But I could see how this could be a nice combination.
It's not one I had heard of before. And keep
in mind that there are things that you can do
(22:16):
with a cream cheese that is great fun and builds flavor.
I would roast like a red pepper or something, or
a bell pepper or a roast them and then I
would blend them in a food processor with cream cheese.
And it makes a good schmear or something like that.
And I think something like that in this would be
(22:37):
really really great.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Would I would? I mix my mustards with my cream cheeses.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
That's what I do. But just I don't know, thicken
up that mustard a little bit.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I'd be curious. I bet you there's something because you
like the you like the like a robust mustard. If
I remember, like you like like a mustard that'd be
served on a charcuter.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Record's pretty pretty popular. Cream cheese mustard dip, creamy honey
mustard spread.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh that does sound good. I like a honey mustard.
You like a honey mustard. I'm a fan.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I like a spicy mustard, like like a mustard where
you have to like.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
An Asian spicy mustard. I love an Asian spicy mustard. Right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Sometimes you have to ask for the not white people
a spicy mustard.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, they'll look at you. If you say, hey, I'm
like no, no, bring me the heat. They'll check your privilege.
You have to wink at them. No, I asked for
the randerin. Oh that'll do it. Yeah, that'll do it.
Thank you, Neil.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Oh, no pleasure, Neil, Savedra, host of The Fork Report,
getting up early to do the morning show and doing
our show next week. Yeah, looking forward to it with
Marloteez from Fox eleven.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
She's nice.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Oh she's great. I adore that woman. She easy to
work with, super smart, like you know.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I know she's she's she's polite, she's.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Low maintenance in that sense, you don't have to worry like, oh,
is this the I'm going to light a fire Shannon.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Or remember do balls jokes all the time? Yeah, So
it was refreshing.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It'll be vial adult in here. Not a lot of
crand drawings on the wall, not a lot of walking bacon.
One time I did that. It'll be a good time
had by all. You've been listening to The Gary and
Shannon Show.

This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI

Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's time for Swamp Watch. Swamp is horrible. The government
man make this like a reality TV show. Was a
bad bos always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington,
d C. Hey Joe, a town.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
All too clearly built on a swamp and in so
many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
A watch of Malwaukee, he said, drain the swamp. I said, Oh,
that's so he'll keep you.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Know the thing. I was reading an article today, the
five Warning signs for Harris following the DNC acknowledging the
momentum that's been building just over two months until election day.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
They say that the victory.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Far from certain, that they're selling her condensed run as
an underdog candidacy. You saw all those speakers emphasize it
will continue to be an uphill battle. Dwan see Wright
as a Democratic strategist out of South Carolina, and he says,
the energy is good, but the energy has to be
(01:07):
harnessed for good because it doesn't always turn out to
be good energy in politics. That they're going to have
to acknowledge some things. As the race officially kicks off
tight polling and battleground states, she still hasn't sat for
an interview, something that we have belabored.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You know, It's funny.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I was just watching CNN had a guy has a
guy on there right now who is I guess a
former communications director for the vice president, who is basically
making the argument, well, it's really tough to schedule.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's tough to schedule an interview. No, it is not.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You are the vice president of the United States and
the candidate for president, even if you're on a rigorous
campaign trail, which you're not right now, you're doing debate prep.
You have the ability to reach out to whichever agency,
whichever network, whatever channel you want to do, and tell
(02:04):
them meet me in Detroit at a place of my
choosing at two pm on Thursday, and I'll give you
forty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
We have a sitting president and a sitting vice president
that are nowhere to be found in terms of accountability.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Is that is that weird? That's weird. It is very weird.
It is very weird.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'd like whoever's running the country to sit down for
an interview. If I could because who's that person? Who
are those people? It would be nice to meet them.
It would be wonderful that she's got to figure out
her policy. Right, we don't really know what her policy is.
She's just saying whatever, whichever the wind, the way the
wind blows. She was saying something recently about how under
her our military would be the strongest it's ever been
(02:47):
that the world has ever seen. Oh, she's obviously just
trying to hohore out to independent voters with that kind
of policy because people lost their minds on social media
about it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That screwed the defense. Put my kid in college, right.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And then also this article brought up something interesting that
she needs to not offend white men, that the support
is not there. She's been able to pick up young voters,
women voters, black voters, kind of clawback some of that
Latino voting block that Biden was shaky with, but Trump
(03:20):
still pulls more strongly among men and white voters nationally
and in the battleground states. So it's one of those
things where you don't want to turn off white men
by saying you're all white men and you don't know
and I'm tired of like having to you know, bat
down to you for my whole life, because it's always
been white men in politics.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Drop the privilege word in there too.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, you just got to be careful about that, because
there's nothing white men hate more than being told that
they have privilege for being white men.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, especially if.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're a white man who has repeatedly voted Democratic, you
came from a lower socioch, socioeconomic.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Strata, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Eminem, fine, eminem, that's fine. He did not have privilege. No,
and there are plenty of guys who were able to
work their way out of their poor conditions for whatever reason.
That had nothing to do with that they were white dudes.
It's that they were hardworking people. A DC story that
(04:21):
has to do with swamp Watch, and that is that
Meta platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg says now in a letter
to the House Judiciary Committee it was improper for the
Biden administration to have pressured Facebook to censor content related
to COVID, saying they would reject any future effort to
(04:42):
do such things. He said he believed the pressure was wrong,
and he says I regret that we were not more
outspoken about it, and he said the company made some
choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and some new information,
we would not make that same choice today. He also
said that the FBI came to him and suggested that
the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. Now, again,
(05:06):
this was not the Biden administration because it wasn't empower yet,
but it was the FBI who came forward and said that.
And what Mark Zuckerberg said was they deplatformed or whatever
term you want to use. They down platformed this so
it wasn't as easily shared. And we know places like
Twitter completely ignored and did not allow you to share
(05:29):
the New York Post version of the Hunter Biden laptop
story when it first came out because they said it
was Russian disinformation. So he at least has come forward
and said he's not going to do that. One of
the things he did a few years ago also was
he was donating money to state level election efforts like
get out the vote, make sure it's secure, that sort
(05:50):
of thing. Republicans accused him of being too liberal with
his money, or I should say, giving it to liberal causes,
so he said, fine, nobody gets any money.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Jack Smith is also back in court.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Jack Smith the Special Council has said that he wants
the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to revive the classified
documents case out of Florida. If you remember, Judge Aleen
Cannon last month granted the request to dismiss the indictment
on the grounds that Smith's appointment violated the Appointments and
Appropriations clauses of the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Not anything to.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Do with whether or not Trump had actually broken the
law by taking classified documents. This was a technicality that
she dismissed it on. Jack Smith is trying to get
that thing reinstated.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Okay, So rf Kennedy Junior back in the headlines. Not
for suspending his campaign joining Trump's transition team. No, not
for the dead bear cub he left in Central Park
as a joke a decade ago. A twenty twelve interview
has resurfaced, however, in which his daughter Kick shared he
(07:03):
had once used a chainsaw to cut off a whale's
head to bring it home.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Part of me doesn't believe the story because she's now
dating Ben Affleck.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I know that's not the reason not to believe it.
Oh really, yes, how do you know this? Well? What
do you mean? How do I know? This do you
not read? Yeah? How could you? How could you not know?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I haven't clicked on a Ben Affleck headline in twenty years.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Well, I get it mainlined directly into my head. I
know the matrix. You get the Google alerts for Ben Affleck.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Kick Kennedy thirty six. Now I think is dating fifty
two year old Ben Affleck. Cour they I should say
they've been seen together.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
They've had they're having sex. That's what I'm here. I
don't know if they've been seen having sex.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But Town and Country magazine is where you could find
this interview and Kick Kennedy says that Kennedy her dad
once heard that a dead whale had washed up on
squaw Islan in Hyenna's port, and that he ran down
to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Whale's head and don't run with a chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And then bungee corded it to the roof of the
family minivan for the five hour haul back to New York.
She says, every time we accelerated on the highway best
part here, whale juice would pour into the windows of
the car. We all had plastic bags over our heads
with mouth holes cut out.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
People on the highway were.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Giving us the finger, but that was just normal day
to day stuff for us.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Day to day.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I sign me up, sign me up for the crazy
ass Kennedy Clan.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I mean, set aside all.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The womanizing and the sexual assaults and the passing around
of Marilyn Monroe and dead bodies and we'd dead bodies
and dead girls in lakes. But aside from that, sign
me up for the drunken dinner party where it ends
with a bear in Central Parks, head on top of
the car, on top of the car, with the blood
gushing in. I'm ready for this kind of adventure.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Somebody actually looked into whether or not this violate whether
it violated law.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
If indeed he did do this, it sure sounds like it.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
In a letter yesterday to government officials, the Center for
Biological Diversity Action Fund requested that NOAA opened an investigation
into whether or not RFK Junior violated the Marine Mammal
Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. The story there
was another story that was the reason I saw this
(09:39):
in the first place. There was some whether it's People magazine.
Somebody was looking into the relationship, the budding relationship between
Affleck and Kick Kennedy, and they brought up this story.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
They said.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
One of the other quotes from Kick Kennedy was we
had all kinds of dead end like he was known
for picking up road kill. That's the reason he got
the bear in the first place, is that he was
interested in it.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I mean he was that.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Are you gonna call him a sportsman? No, I'm not
going to call him a serial killer. Not a serial killer.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I had an anthropology professor in college who did this
exact same thing. He would drive around and if it
was a well preserved, relatively fresh piece of roadkill, he'd
pick it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Up and put it in the trunk. And what would
he do with it?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Dissected or boiled the meats off and reassemble the skeleton.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Really, yeah, that's not serial killer. No, super normal, super normal.
I do think they search of that name. Where do
you think they get skeletons from?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So an update, Jurors have reached a verdict. It will
be read shortly In the federal trial of Tom Girardi
in downtown LA again. He is accused of running a
ten year Ponzi scheme, stealing fifteen million in settlement funds
from four of his clients.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Hey, Richie, what up?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Why you are a delight? Why did the fishermen put
peanut butter into the sea?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No idea? Why to go with the jellyfish? Oh my god?
Why did you sell like Dora the Explorer at the
end there? To go with the jellyfish?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
See?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Come on, no Clara case.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Neil Savatri is the host of The Fork Report. He
joins us Tuesdays. We talk about food on the Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I just remembered I saw on one of those morning
shows about those those chicken coconut ginger meatballs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I meant to look up that recipe I was talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I apologize that was a thought that should have stayed inside.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Because you know, you've never mentioned coconut ginger chicken meatballs before.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
But I'm listening. Yeah idea, Yeah, doesn't that sound great?
Ears wide open, nice summer.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, I'll find the recipe. The one, the one in
particular they had on that morning show looked really good.
I mean, I know it's not hard to make chicken coconut, right, No.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But to keep it moist? Sorry, keep it you know.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So, I've got a trick when it comes to chicken
or turkey meatballs and keeping them moist. I'm listening a
little bit of Greek yogurt. I was gonna say, yogurtface. Yeah,
keep some Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Sometimes it can get.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Too dry and dense with turkey or chicken because you
don't have the added fat that you have with meat,
real meat, men's meat.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And there it is. Well, it was good hanging out
with you guys. Thanks for coming. Go out on a high.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Now appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
We don't even have to judge you because you judge yourself.
And then it's sad.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Uh. Stop stop, let's talk about pink slime. Pink slime,
shall we was rumored to have been the main ingredient
in chicken McNuggets for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Which and I remember the images of it.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
When that story started floating around, I thought it was
something like twenty twenty or Nightline or something like one
of them.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Did a series on it.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But it has not. That's beef. There is such thing
as be as what is referred to as pink slime.
There's two major types of fabrication in manufacturing with meat
that is referred to as pink slime. And I won't
get into details for a couple of reasons. One, it's
not that important too. I don't know exactly everything part
(13:37):
about it, but basically what it is, it's them pulling
off It's actually a good thing in some ways because
you're using the entirety of the animal and in doing that,
you're pulling meat, but not chicken. It's not poultry. It's beef.
And they would use it as a filler because it
would have fat in it, and then it would have
some of the actual flesh in it and they'd use
(13:58):
that to fill or ground beef to add fat to it.
It's not pretty to look at, but either as blooney
or hot dogs in it's and I can't remember what
the name of it when it's in that form, but
when it's in that form, it's not real pleasant to
look at. But it would never go into a chicken nugget. Now,
(14:22):
back in I think in twenty eleven you had McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
They had it in their burgers. They don't need moore.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
They took it out in twenty eleven that but it
doesn't end up in a chicken McNugget. However, they are
pressed because you can tell there's like four or five
shapes and they repeat themselves so you're looking. If you're looking,
it's like, hey, I have two State of Florida's. Then
that's because they're they're actually about five shapes that they
(14:54):
press them into.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But it's not lips and butts and beaks.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
No, it's what no, no, no, no no, And it's
not eyeballs and all the things that that is. That
reminds me of you know old wives tales where it's
like somebody passing on to someone else and it's like, yeah,
they have this in it.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No they don't. Uh. It is primarily white meat.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
And the only other thing that is found in a
chicken McNugget that's processed would be some of the skin.
But that actually adds flavor. That's part of the flavor
of a piece of chicken because you can notice.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And I think the thing about specifically overprocessed nuggets like
that is the tech when you bite into it, the
texture there's there's there's bubbles in it and things like that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I mean, let's look cut in your face. It should
not have air caverns. But the difference between that and
you know, uh, fibrous of the muscle. Yeah, So if
you go to.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
If you go down the street here and you go
to Chick fil A, or you know, even better, you
go cross the street and you go to uh To
Raising Canes, You're going to see fiber in both of
their nuggets or fingers. You're going to see the fiber
the direction of the muscle. That is going to be
(16:09):
a whole product. As a matter of fact, at they're
at Chick fil A, you can get grilled nuggets that
don't have any breading on them and you can see
that it's.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Just a cut piece of chicken.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Yeah, So the difference is in nugget form. Any place,
if they're going to be a nugget form form must
most of the time they're going to be processed in
some way pressed. If they're tenders, that is actually a
cut of meat. So a breast has two parts. It
has the main breast and then just underneath it as tender,
(16:44):
which is a better cut of the meat. And that
is the kind of long cut and those are better,
Those are better for kebabs, those are better for the
chicken tenders in the like, And that's an actual cut
of meat.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Well, you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Loney being an unappealing at least.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I love baloney. Who does it? It's like a big
hot dog that you cut thin.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yes, So I go back and forth with that because
like I guess it's nostalgia why I like the thick
oscar Meyer baloney. But like if I'm gonna if I
was at the deli slicing blooney, I do it extra thin.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I've never had like I've had thin versus thick. I know,
get but not paper.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Like it's just snackable if you're just not for a sandwich,
because I don't know how much it will hold up,
especially if you're gonna travel with it. But if you're
just using the meats a snacking meats.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You're traveling meat. You're walking meat, like walking bacon, not
snacking me.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
You know, walking bacon's a thing. But you know what,
you know what some people are doing for the hot.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Dogs, and Spain is amazing with wing walking bacon.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, so people are taking hot dogs and putting them
on a mandolin, a cutting mandolin, and cutting them length wise,
very thin, and then crisping them up.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Interesting. Yeah, and it's like it sounds kind of delicious, right, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Almost spam like well, yeah, but he's that spam actually
is quite tasty.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Although I don't want to know anything about it. I
just let it putting it in a cube can.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
As far as I know, somebody is at a spam
farm or orchard picking it off a tree.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Breaking news from downtown. Tom Girardi guilty, what Yeah, guilty?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Guilty.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Convicted today of running ten year ponzi scheme. Prosecutors say
he's siphoned at least fifteen million in funds from four
of his clients. They convicted him of four counts of
wire fraud for stealing from these injured clients and spending
money on private jets, golf club membership's jewelry, and the
career of his now estranged wife, Erica Jane, the real
(18:54):
housewife of Beverly Hills. They just began deliberating yesterday afternoon,
right after closing arguments to bird for about two deliberated
for about two hours this morning before announcing a verdict.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
So justice has been served.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Neil Savatris joined us. He's the host of the Fork Reports.
Did you ever find that that recipe?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
By the way, Oh I did, I emailed it?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Okay, good, I'm looking at my emails and the subject
line was balls.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, well it's for meat balls. It was shorthand you
don't want to type the whole thing, Todd. No, isn't
that part of the harassment thing that we just went through. Yeah,
I'm violating all of that. They shouldn't have given me
the idea to violate.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
He learned out of Break all the Bools.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
We were talking about boloney, and there's somebody who came
up with a simple case. We're adding cream cheese to
a baloney sandwich.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You did that case? This is you know, it's it's
gonna take a minute.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, this was an interesting story that came out of
mash dot com. And it's not a horrible idea because
bloni and cheese go together, and believe it or not,
cream cheese is a cheese like the name. Yeah, but
I mean a lot of people, well American cheeses.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That's a good point.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, heat that up long enough and it becomes solid.
It's just there's different things cheese foods, but a lot
of people don't understand that. It is the separing of
the cur separating of the curds and whey and taking
the curds and compressing them and adding adding fat.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's about the fat content. Now I want fried cheese curds.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Oh, fried cheese curds are great, you know, but cheese
curds are the base of any good mild cheese, and
cream cheese is mild. So your mozzarella things like that
are just you start with the curds. In the case
of mozzarella, you'd add warm salty water and you'd start
to stretch them and that.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
So in a cream cheese, it's about the fat.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I think it's like thirty three percent fat or something
that you add and then you start to process that.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
So in itself it doesn't sound bad to me. The
texture is going to be weird.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You don't have enough crunch in the bread if it's
white bread, right, So you'd either have to change the
bread to me and get a crunchier bread, or you'd
have to add something. In this article they talk about
adding chips, but we normally go towards the things because
it is like a hot dog. You'd think about the
things that you would put on a hot dog, right,
(21:16):
which is mustard or mayo or even ketch up whatever
it might. Sorry, Chicago, you should catch up on a
hot dog after you're eight years old.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Oscar got asked to leave Wrigley Field up on.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
People went nuts with relax.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's acid.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
It's actually a very complex sauce that gets a bad wrap.
I was trying to say the same thing and they
didn't care. So just man, I gotta go give him
a hug. So this, in particular hat is a fried
boloney sandwich, which I love and I love as a kid.
The Oscar Meyer Shan and I were talking about and
(21:55):
it like turns into a hat, you know, because it
bubbles up in the center and you have to like
cut it or something so that it lays down flat.
That to me, I think would go with this very well.
But I'd be inclined to toast it, toast the bread
or something to give an extra crunch up against it.
But I could see how this could be a nice combination.
It's not one I had heard of before. And keep
in mind that there are things that you can do
(22:16):
with a cream cheese that is great fun and builds flavor.
I would roast like a red pepper or something, or
a bell pepper or a roast them and then I
would blend them in a food processor with cream cheese.
And it makes a good schmear or something like that.
And I think something like that in this would be
(22:37):
really really great.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Would I would? I mix my mustards with my cream cheeses.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
That's what I do. But just I don't know, thicken
up that mustard a little bit.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I'd be curious. I bet you there's something because you
like the you like the like a robust mustard. If
I remember, like you like like a mustard that'd be
served on a charcuter.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Record's pretty pretty popular. Cream cheese mustard dip, creamy honey
mustard spread.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh that does sound good. I like a honey mustard.
You like a honey mustard. I'm a fan.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I like a spicy mustard, like like a mustard where
you have to like.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
An Asian spicy mustard. I love an Asian spicy mustard. Right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Sometimes you have to ask for the not white people
a spicy mustard.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, they'll look at you. If you say, hey, I'm
like no, no, bring me the heat. They'll check your privilege.
You have to wink at them. No, I asked for
the randerin. Oh that'll do it. Yeah, that'll do it.
Thank you, Neil.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Oh, no pleasure, Neil, Savedra, host of The Fork Report,
getting up early to do the morning show and doing
our show next week. Yeah, looking forward to it with
Marloteez from Fox eleven.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
She's nice.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Oh she's great. I adore that woman. She easy to
work with, super smart, like you know.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I know she's she's she's polite, she's.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Low maintenance in that sense, you don't have to worry like, oh,
is this the I'm going to light a fire Shannon.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Or remember do balls jokes all the time? Yeah, So
it was refreshing.
